Charlene and I have been to many former homes that have now been converted into museums and attractions. These destinations range from the ultra-rich to the common folk of the era. All of these places have their own particular charm and appeal. But of all…
It was warm for a December morning, but it was still December and being high up on a bridge that spans a large river, who were we kidding – it was freezing! Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park was our first stop of the…
